UKAS Accredited Laboratory

Accredited Calibration Laboratory No. 0256

The hallmark of Norbar’s high standard of workmanship is clearly seen in the fact that we werethe first torque equipment manufacturer to have an in-house UKAS accredited calibration laboratory. We have no intention of resting on our laurels, though, and take pride that we still provide the most comprehensive service available, ensuring we evolve to continue to meet your needs.

Norbar’s laboratory has approval for torques between 0.005 N·m and 108,500 N·m. and operates to BS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005, which sets standards for the technical competence of the laboratory. This should not be confused with laboratories claiming ISO 9001:2008 which relates only to a laboratory's quality management systems.
